Abstract
A display-input equipped data entry device and method of configuring and operating it. Sets of images can be assembled into a layout configuration assignable to a particular program, including a particular key combination that can be pressed during operation of the program. An image is assignable to a particular input by dragging it onto an icon representative of that input displayed onscreen on a computer. An existing image, such as from an image file, is convertible into a code used to produce a reduced-pixel input display-compatible image. Such codes can be incorporated into an HTML, XHTML, XML or other web page document such that a computer running a browser equipped with a code scanning module or plug-in reads each code embedded in a web page being viewed causing the associated image to be displayed on a display of an input of a data entry device linked to the computer.
